School Holidays Bush Toys with Aunty Bronwyn Razem

A vibrant arts and cultural sector helps communities thrive. Language, history, education, music, art and architecture are among the most important ways we shape our identities and express ourselves in daily life.  Alongside environmental, economic and social factors, these contribute significantly to our individual and communal sense of wellbeing. Arts and culture spark imaginations, cultivate innovation, boost economies, create connections and give voice to those who might not otherwise be heard.

Bronwyn was highly commended for the Deadly Art Award at the 2005 Victorian Indigenous Arts Awards, and she was short-listed for the Victorian Indigenous Arts Awards in 2006. In 2008, Bronwyn was chosen by the Australia Council for the Arts to be part of a delegation of Indigenous artists to attend the 10th Pacific Arts Festival in Western Samoa.
